Summary edit

The factual accuracy of this coat of arms or the file name is disputed.
Reason: This is one of a set of ahistorical arms contained in later, Western European sources such as Rietstap's Armorial, that are not attested in the Byzantine period. The Byzantines did not use heraldry in the Western sense, nor are any family-specifc emblems attested in the available sources. See the relevant article on the English Wikipedia, and its discussion page, for more information.
Description
English: Supposed arms of Michael I Rangabe, 9th-century Byzantine emperor. In reality, Byzantium did not use western heraldry until the 13th century, and then in very limited fashion
